The Physics Department offers both a major and a minor in physics. The major in physics is a B.S. degree which provides graduate school preparation and satisfies the core requirements for initial licensure in Secondary School Teaching with a major in physics.

Two other B.S. degrees, leading to careers in radiation therapy, are Medical Biophysics and Radiation Biology. These degrees are offered jointly with Suffolk University’s Biology Department and the Radiation Oncology Department at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Finally, there are two majors available in the environmental area. A B.S.E. degree in Environmental Engineering is administered by the physics department, and a B.S. degree in Environmental Science is jointly offered by the physics, biology, and chemistry departments.
